CHALLENGES FOR OLDER PEOPLE IN GM RELEVANT TO APPLICATION OF TECHNOLOGY
• The projected growth in single-person households: a 66% increase in the numbers of people in GM 75 plus living alone by 2036, with one in three men aged 75 and over living alone by 2036.
• Based on national data around 61,000 men aged 50+ (14%) and 53,000 women (11%) in GM are likely to experience social isolation
• The projected growth in the number of people predicted to be diagnosed with some form of dementia: from 32,000 in GM in 2011 to 61,000 in 2036
OPPORTUNITIES FOR TECHNOLOGY
• Community - Technologies that maintain social connections (Skype) • Home environment - Products that support ‘ageing in place’ (‘smart home’) • Body - Strategic use of ICT to improve functional ability (e.g. body sensors to monitor health) • Care-giving - Technologies assisting carers supporting older people
Maintaining social connections
• Internet use 9% 65+ using internet on daily basis in 2003 42% 65+ in 2014 - But social divisions around class/income & issue
of between 3% and 10% of people who stop using the internet because of range of changes (sensory, physical, cognitive) arising in later life
- Digital exclusion in care homes: of the 20,000 plus homes in UK, just 4, 178 provide access to the internet (carehome.co.uk -2014 figures)
Maintaining support
• Tele-care systems long-established – likely shift from alarm-based to ‘continuous monitoring’; development of telecare services for people when outside the home1 but:
- older people in poor health least likely to accept new technologies; 2 - Stigmatising effect of ICT-based care services – wearing monitoring devices which carry the implication of frailty.3,4
CHALLENGES
• Diversity of people 50 plus driven by widening social inequalities may lead to unequal distribution of technology to support older people: technology rich versus technology poor.
• Concerns about privacy may affect growth of connected devices 5
• Budget restrictions may restrict application of technology
Key research gaps & challenges
• Explorations of the impact of connectivity linked to everyday objects (so-called ‘pervasive computing’)
• Investigations of how people deal with changes to domestic technology (e.g. smart appliances) and how their use can be supported long-term
• Engagement of older people as co-researchers • Research on causes and effects of digital
disengagement • Research on causes of resistance to take-up of
technology (amongst both professionals & older people).

Ageing Well in Work: A Call to Action
Jan Hopkins Ageing Well in Work Project Manager
17
Aim: Focus on actions required to help individuals flourish in work, delay and plan early for retirement and remain active in their local communities Objective: Take stock of progress to-date and drawing on the experience of ‘what works’ across Europe, set out a framework for positive action Premise: Good work as a tool to promote future health and social resilience and independence in later living
18
The Task We Set Ourselves
4 Themes: o Workplace Adaptations o Retirement Choices o Managing Chronic Conditions in the Workplace o Managing an Older Workforce
19
Project Themes
o In-depth reviews o Analysis of Public Health Outcomes Framework (PHOF)
Learning exchange with EU partners o Insight work: NHS Health Checks and Health Trainers
20
Project Methods
The Age Of Opportunity In 1951 a 65 man could expect to live to 77, today he can expect to live to 86 and by 2050 to 91 More over 50s in workforce than ever before. Over 50s form a quarter of workers in GB. By 2020, it is set to rise to a third
Reworked view of retirement and later living. Rejecting cliff-edge retirement. Age of no-retirement and portfolio working. View retirement as an active/independent phase BUT 2.9 million people aged 50-SPa who are out of work, only 0.7 million see themselves as retired, 1.7 million think it is unlikely that they will ever work again – many of these are sick or disabled
26% of people aged 50-64 who are out of work would like to work
21
Prevention and Targeted Action o Poorest social class have 60% higher prevalence and earlier
onset of LTCs
o Employees with a mental health condition, who remain in work without the support they need, cost UK businesses around £15 billion a year
22
Prevalence of selected long-term health conditions by age group
18-24 25-49 50-SPA
Musculoskeletal problems 3% 9% 21%
Chest or breathing problems, asthma, bronchitis 5% 5% 8%
Heart, blood pressure or blood circulation problems 1% 4% 17%
Stomach, liver kidney or digestive problems 2% 3% 7%
Diabetes 1% 2% 7%
Depression, bad nerves or anxiety 3% 6% 8%
Other health conditions 7% 9% 17%
Impact of Health on Work Status
23
• Loss of talent –1 in 6 carers leave work or reduce hours to care
• Costs of recruitment and productivity –Employee’s last salary or more
• Lost potential –Reducing working hours/working below skills level
• Absenteeism –Caring identified as a factor (if unsupported) by the Confederation of British Industry (CBI)

o Greater Manchester Devolution Agreement settled with
Government in November 2014, building on GM Strategy development
o Powers over areas such as transport, planning and housing – and a new elected mayor
o Ambition for £22 billion handed to GM o MOU Health and Social Care devolution signed February 2015:
NHS England plus the 10 GM councils, 12 Clinical Commissioning Groups and NHS and Foundation Trusts
o MoU covers acute care, primary care, community services, mental health services, social care and public health
o To take control of estimated budget of £6 billion each year from April 2016
25
GM Devolution – the background
o MoU–Prevention o Requires a substantial reduction in demand for health and care
services in part as a consequence of transformational improvement of population health and wellbeing
o Supports pre-eminent argument in NHS 5 year forward view o Linking prevention and health improvement to economic
growth and jobs o Aligns with the recognition of the role of local leadership to
improve health and wellbeing in the local population o The Agreement is focused around major transformational
programmes of work including:
Starting Well, Living Well, Ageing Well and Reform and Growth 26
Prevention at the heart of Devolution
o If GM 50-64 employment rate was at the UK average for this age group then
GM GVA would grow by as much as £813.6M per year o AWiW has demonstrated that healthy life expectancy is strongly and
consistently associated both with lower exposure to known ‘RISK’ factors; and is also associated with increased access to ‘ASSET’ factors, such as higher wellbeing and lower poverty including employment in 50+
o Understanding the risks for falling out of work early will provide direction around effective resilience initiatives and increasing productivity
o We have a range of models to promote health at work across the conurbation
27
Linking prevention and health improvement to economic growth and jobs
o Work for Health has been developed as an enabler of system
change to increase the number of people who remain in or return to employment during periods of both chronic and short term ill health
o Ageing Well in Work aims to reduce the numbers of people who leave work early after the age of 50 years and support individuals to flourish and contribute meaningfully in the workplace/community
o Workplace Wellbeing Charter provides employers with easy and clear guides on how to make workplaces a healthy, supportive and productive environment in which employees can thrive
Greater Manchester Work and Health Programmes
29
More than a quarter of the 28 million workers in this country are managing a
long term health condition or impairment
For too long we have assumed that people with health conditions should be
protected from work. The reality is that work can be good for health, aid recovery and support people to manage their conditions better
o Commissioned Univ Of Salford to deliver the innovative Healthy
Work Conversations training to 185 AHPs and PWPs. Training stresses the importance of having early conversations about work in routine practice
o Evidence that professionals receptive to a new focus. Increase in confidence and changes in practice. Not necessarily how much, but how you engage with clients that is key
o Portability to other workforces within primary and social care and third sector settings recognising that a range of professionals are well placed to influence decisions in relation to work and health
14
Healthy Work Conversations Training
The evidence base internationally and from the UK demonstrates that midlife is a time when health, social and employment opportunities converge and it is a key point to build resilience and future-proof opportunities for later living Challenges in work ability occur at times of transition, e.g. retirement and Rehiring [Finland] Work adjustments are often implemented following sick leave. It is advised that supervisors should gain insight into the needs of workers with chronic disease earlier, to be able to implement work adjustments to prevent sick leave [Netherlands] The topic of retirement/transition rarely discussed [Finland]
15
Ageing Well in Work: A Call to Action
16
Action in Partnership
Action by a range system players will be required. These include local government, NHS agencies, third sector partners, employers and citizens
By promoting wellbeing at work we can improve quality of experience, productivity as well as work participation • Development of an organisation and work conditions that
stimulate employees to work beyond 65+ • Continued salary increase and competence development after
the age of 60 • Possibilities to work full or part time – • Individual adjustment for those who have retired: provisions to
return to work and to work periods according to their wishes • Middle management must prepare and stimulate
Age Management
Aircraft manufacturer Airbus experienced high sickness absence in its highly skilled workforce, with poor psychological health the primary reason for absence. The company developed an innovative partnership with the NHS with the result that sickness absence was reduced significantly. Airbus used the initiative to heighten managerial awareness of the issues and tackle stigma, which may have prevented workers disclosing health problems. 89% of workers remained in the workforce whilst receiving treatment
Let’s Get Creative
Institute of Directors calls for employers to allow staff time off for volunteering when 58% of employers admit they don’t. JRF commissioned research a decade ago which showed that pre-retirement recruitment tended to get lost in financial and other planning. 6 months post retirement or as part of the mix within phased retirement might work better. “We could have simply had a whip round in the office and donated money to charity. But we wanted to use our creative skills to bond as a team, have fun
and do something to make a big impact somewhere nearby that really needed it” Shelley Hoppe, CEO, Southerly
Volunteering

The patterning of inequality
The richest 10% of the population aged 50 and older own 43% of total non-pension wealth, while the richest 30% own three-quarters of total non-pension wealth.
Wealth differences in levels of frailty are stark; the trajectory of frailty for an individual in the richest third of the population at age 80+ is comparable to that for a 70-74 year old in the poorest third.
The patterning of inequality
There is also a suggestion that inequalities in levels of frailty widened between 2002 and 2010.
Perhaps more troubling is that among the poorest third of the population more recent cohorts appear to have higher levels of frailty compared with earlier cohorts. Levels of frailty are increasing over time for the poorest in our population.
Wellbeing in later life is similarly strongly graded by socioeconomic position.
The policy context in relation to inequalities in later life
The possibility that inequalities in health in later life are increasing and that healthy life expectancy might be worsening for poorer segments of the population, is a cause for concern.
The reasons behind these changes are not clear, but they could be a consequence of widening social inequalities.
Despite this evidence, both interventions and broader policy work (including the Marmot Review) have ignored older people and relevant processes operating in later life.
The policy context in relation to inequalities in later life
Evidence suggests there is some success from interventions focussed on: Promoting valued social roles and broader social inclusion; Physical activity and exercise, and falls prevention
programmes; and Housing quality, particularly heating.
However, there is insufficient evidence to assess whether, if appropriately targeted, such interventions would reduce inequalities in health in later life.
There is a lack of more broadly focussed interventions to address the more fundamental drivers of inequalities in later life

English Longitudinal Study of Ageing
“There is emerging evidence that urban environments may place older people at a heightened risk of isolation and loneliness.”
- Changes in which urban spaces are developed to meet the needs of younger consumers;
- Older people’s social well-being is prone to changes in population. The loss of family members, friends and neighbours has implications for the maintenance of stable social relationships.
- Older people are affected by changes linked to social issues, such as changes in services and levels of crime.” Scharf/Gierveld 2008
Ageing in the city “Some councils will see an outward migration of affluent people in their 50s and 60s who choose to leave the cities…..the remaining older population…tends to be….poorer, isolated and more vulnerable with a lower life expectancy and a need for acute interventions” Audit Commission 2008
